There is a very handsome oak skreen, of somewhat later date, at theeast end of the aisle, with rich fret-work and panels. There was doubtlessa votive altar within this enclosure, and in it was also the antient ^jriedieu for the lords use at his devotions. This chantry has recently l^eenneatly swept and garnished, and the remains of the prie dieu, with itsquaintly carved bench ends and old lockers, instead of being carefullyrepaired and reinstated, are now thrust outside to decay and bench ends display two large allegorical figures of savage men aimed.
